Emily's place was beyond athesticly pleasing, something right out of a magazine. She was extremely accommodating and incredibly nice. The neighborhood was beautiful and conventionally located close to many restaurants and shops. I think my favorite part was befriending her lovely cat, Chloey.

Taylor2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

Emily's place was a wonderful spot for our first visit to Louisville! We felt like we were in a great location for some neighborhood feel and delicious food and drink just a few roads down; lots of variety and life! We were able to walk and wander as we pleased. It was also great to have Chloey the cat hanging out and waiting for us every time we came back from an adventure!

Katherine2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Emily's place was adorable and cozy. We loved staying here especially because it's walking distance to Cherokee Park with lots of trails. Plus Emily was very helpful and ready to help if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again.

Lauren2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Location was great! So close to all the things we wanted to do. The neighborhood was nice, safe and very quiet. The apt was very roomy and private. There is a cat that lives in the unit. We didn't mind because we love animals and she is very friendly and adorable! But, if you're allergic or not a fan of cats, it's not the place for you. Otherwise, we had a nice stay at Emily's. She was very available to answer any questions we had.

Mia2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Emily's place is stunning - beautifully designed, blissfully quiet, and her cat, chloey, is a total charmer. Perfect for this couple visiting Louisville for the first time!

Quiet, conveniently located home in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods: The Highlands. Guests will enjoy "run of the house" privileges, for the exception of the lower level, which is my private space. I rent two bedrooms on the first floor, and these two guest rooms share one bathroom. I sleep in a separate bedroom on the second floor, and use a private bath in the lower level. I recently moved back to Louisville and am happy to resume hosting!

Coming to Louisville for a night or a week? Moving to town but not sure where to live? I have rent two extra first floor bedrooms with a shared bath in my comfortable 3 bedroom completely renovated bungalow in the Highlands area of Louisville. Your bedroom has a closet, dresser, nightstand and a firm queen size mattress with comfort padded top. The adjacent bathroom has a tub/shower with rain style shower head. For those who have allergies, note that I have 2, nine-year-old cats who are very well-mannered and affectionate, but pretty much stay to themselves. My place isn't all "furry" though. I'm fanatic about keeping my home clean and orderly. Often people comment that if they hadn't seen the cats they wouldn't even have known I had any. Nightly rate includes clean linens, towels, and bathroom essentials (shampoo, body wash or soap, etc), complimentary wi-fi, as well as your choice select Starbucks brand coffee and teas available all day long via my Keurig.
There are approximately 7 restaurants within a 3 block walking distance of my home. I am less than a half mile from Bellarmine University, approximately 3 miles from the University of Louisville, and less than 10 miles from the airport and 5 miles from the central business district downtown. I keep a fairly busy schedule so generally guests generally have the house to themselves. I am an avid cook (not professional), so if you are so inclined, you are welcome to use anything in the kitchen you find available. I also grow a variety of veggies in a fairly small seasonal garden, so depending on what's ripe, you're more than welcome to pick from the garden, which may include a couple different varieties of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, broccoli, cucumbers and some herbs.
NON SMOKING ONLY.

Deer Park is a neighborhood four miles southeast of downtown Louisville, Kentucky, USA. Most of the neighborhood was developed from 1890 through the 1920s as a streetcar suburb, with all but six of its 24 subdivisions being developed by 1917, and the last laid out by 1935, although some development west of Norris Place continued after World War II.

Michael is a wonderful, friendly host, and very knowledgeable about Louisville. The house was lovely and impeccably clean, as well as close to all the great shops and restaurants along Bardstown Road.

Ram2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Michael is clearly a professional at hospitality. This house is absolutely gorgeous-- a testament to the host's impeccable design eye and care for his guests' comfort--and felt more like a bed and breakfast/hotel than staying at someone's home. The neighborhood is safe and centrally located. Michael is a friendly and gregarious person, a great conversationalist--if that's what you're in the mood for--but will respect your boundaries if/when you want to be left alone. Overall a fantastic experience and I will most definitely be coming back!

Ade2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Michael's house is impeccable. Clean, bright, tasteful, and comfortable. Centrally located. We had a great stay. A perfect Airbnb!

Debra2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Michael's is awesome . !! . Very accommodating and everything was taken care of through detailed messages very well in advance of my arrival. The home is beautiful inside and has a great backyard with its own little water stream . Beautiful .!! . The bedroom and bathroom were very neat . Highly recommended.

Mallik2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

Michael was a great host, great guy with a very nice place in Louisville. His cats are nice and super cute. Would definitely stay again.

Nick2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Michael was friendly, helpful, and an absolutely excellent host! My boyfriend and I only stayed for a night but felt incredibly well taken care of. Michael provided suggestions for things we might like to do based on the activities we had mentioned we were doing in Louisville. In addition, he had the perfect balance of friendliness and discretion, and seemed to know exactly when we wanted company and when we needed or wanted to relax and be alone. His home was incredibly beautiful and his 2 cats were so sweet and unobtrusive. We would both definitely stay again during our next trip to Louisville!

Awesome place, awesome hosts.

Kyle2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay here. The home is in an attractive, lively neighborhood with several shops and restaurants close by. Our family of three had plenty of room and felt quite comfortable in the clean, simple space. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Everything was available to us as promised. We would definitely stay here again.

COMPLETELY RENOVATED beautiful apartment in a duplex downtown (on the 3rd floor). Very unique home with amazing sunlight and a small rooftop deck that has a beautiful view of downtown. This home has one bedroom, large living room (with a sofa bed) and beautiful kitchen. Work space and internet available. private parking. Great location, close to everything.
FYI... There are some serious steps to access the apartment because it is on the 3rd floor.

This is mostly commercial area on the edge of downtown, close to all the "cool" neighborhoods (i.e. nulu, germantown highlands, etc.). Right next to the expressways.

My space is all charm & comfort. You'll have the living room/library suite, w/ full bed, couch & chairs, & door w/ lock. I am located w/ in walking distance of tons of great restaurants & things to do! Please be aware, I live w/ 4 sweet kitties!

I am lucky to live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that is less than a mile from dozens of fantastic restaurants, cafés, and things to do in Louisville in the Highlands and Germantown neighborhoods. I am also a very quick trip to several other popular neighborhoods, Butchertown, Frankfort, as well as downtown Louisville.
The layout is homey, 900 square feet with three six foot south-facing windows in the living room/library suite, the library is well-stocked, there are tons of tchotchkes to make a house a home, and four highly affectionate cats (they're really more like dogs). There is also an eat-in kitchen that's got every cooking implement you could possibly need.
Disclaimer: I have had a few people book recently who don't seem to understand what pet ownership means. The cats will be present. They will be interested in you, your things, and they will want affection from you, while you're sitting, while you're sleeping. You are more than welcome to close the door to the suite to keep them out during your stay, and I recommend you do so if they're any issue for you or you're not used to the reality of cats. In addition, the cats shed cat hair, and the cats use a litter box. I clean the litter box daily and I lint roll, sweep, mop, wipe down, and vacuum every surface in the house daily or weekly. There is no conceivable way you will get through a stay without encountering cat hair. My home is as clean as it possibly can be with four lovely furballs running about, but their presence will definitely be known to you.
Also, my home is old. The house was built in the very early 1900s and it is showing its age in places. For instance, the linoleum in the kitchen is easily from the 1960s and looks like it; it was once white, and no amount of mopping with bleach will alter the fact that what was once white is no more. I like these shabby bits and find it all very cozy; it's the kind of lived-in home I prefer. If you are expecting to walk into an environment that is hotel-pristine, that doesn't look or feel lived in, where animals will not give you a nudge in the morning for some love, please book a hotel.

I love that everything you need is within a mile radius. Lots of restaurants and bars and shops of all kinds, from small independently owned hardware stores to vintage stores to bulk food stores to art supply stores. I have been known to spend a whole day just wandering around exploring.

Everything was nice! Very friendly cats, clean eclectic space, pretty centrally located to downtown as well as some cool spots. Clean sheets, clean towels, spare keys and plenty of street parking! Grateful for such a positive first experience on AirBnB!

Steven2015-01-23T00:00:00Z

This place was exactly as described, and it was wonderful. Coming back to a place that reminded me of my own home after an exhausting weekend was wonderful. Sarah went out of her way to work around my schedule (but, that said, we were both going to the same festival, so it was also her schedule), and was extremely kind. And when I woke up the next morning and packed quickly and left my suitcase and some other clothes, she was very good-humored and friendly about getting them back to me. She was very kind and giving, offering food and coffee to a guy who just needed a semi-soft space to get off his feet and be unconscious for a few hours.

Matthew2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

Sarah is so lovely and her home is lovely. Awesome shower :) Recommended!

Nyree2014-06-27T00:00:00Z

Although Sarah and I barely crossed paths, we had a brief but nice conversation; she was a very generous host. I felt at home in her home and slept peacefully in her quiet neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Mark2014-10-29T00:00:00Z

Sarah responded promptly to all my questions prior to and during our stay. She gave detailed information on accessing and using her place. She wasn't there when we were, but everything was organized as described and we had the place to ourselves. This is a cozy, comfortable and funky space on a fairly quiet street. It was a great location to access Bardston and Baxter Roads, and just over a half hour walk to NuLu. The cats were friendly and the bed was comfy. It was a great choice for our first visit to Louisville!

Colin 2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

First of all, Deanna was an awesome host. She was communicative and respectful. The bed was comfy and cozy. The room was not too hot, not too cold and it was clean. Bathroom was very clean as well. The location was very convenient for travel and neighborhood was quiet and rustic. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling through the area.

Apinya2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Deanna is a wonderful, warm and welcoming host. I had a short stay here -- just to sleep really -- but I was welcomed with wine and cookies and a very clean and warm bed. I didn't have time to enjoy the backyard or the trampoline but I did enjoy the company! The place is very convenient for travelers looking for a great stay for the night with easy access to 1-64.

Come take advantage of one of AirBNB's best values in Louisville. I live in one of the most beautiful, historic buildings in the Highlands of Louisville. You get a comfortable room in a spacious apartment. Cherokee Park is right outside the door. It's a huge city park designed by Frederick Olmsted of New York's central park fame. In the other direction is Bardstown Rd which is Louisville's social life where you can enjoy shopping, food, entertainment, and bars open til 4am. Come stay and relax.

I offer for rent, at this great price, a 98 square foot private room that is furnished with a twin size daybed. The mattress is extremely comfortable. And I have updated the room with new, thicker blinds and sunblocking curtains so you can sleep later, as well as a brand new ceiling fan to help keep the air circulated and cool. Please see the photographs to get a better idea of the space offered.

The Highlands is easily the best area of Louisville to visit. Incredible food and lots of options.
Many bars that stay open until 4am and great nightlife.
Something is always going on... music, theater, etc.
From my place you can walk to many options in as little as 5-15 minutes.

Stayed a 2nd time with Clint and he was gracious to accommodate my requests. Also did I say he has the most comfy bed?!

Chill place, near the cemetery and great neighborhood. Everything as described and clean. Thanks

Jeffrey2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

Clint is a graciously chill host who makes extra efforts to ensure a hitch-free arrival and a pleasant stay -- both of which I appreciated on my first-ever Airbnb adventure. He texted me while I was en route from Chicago to confirm my arrival time and gave me detailed but easy to follow directions for entering the apartment in the event he wasn't there. He was engaging when I felt like chatting (he's a night owl), but otherwise gave me my space. The listing's photos don't show how the apartment's rooms connect in a quite spacious way. My room (like a sun room but with fewer windows) was off the dining room which, along with the kitchen, is separated from the living room and bedrooms by a long, L-shaped hallway, making the room feel more private than it may appear. What the photos also don't show you is the elegant neighborhood in which the building is situated. The Highlands is a real jewel: rich with great architecture and history, highly walkable and an offering a full spectrum of dining, nightlife and eclectic shopping. All in all, it was a great introduction to the world of Airbnb. I hope all my stays are as pleasant.

Thom2016-07-27T00:00:00Z

Clint was an awesome host! He literally booked me for the Kentucky Derby last minute. Within 30-40 minutes I was in his beautiful home. His place was really clean and inviting.

NuLu is best known for its art galleries, specialty stores, antique shops and a growing number of local, upscale restaurants.
The term “NuLu” is a portmanteau meaning “New Louisville”. As home to the greenest commercial building in Kentucky, many historic restoration projects, as well as several restaurants offering organic and locally sourced ingredients, NuLu has emerged with a culture of sustainability.
Market Street is one of four major corridors inextricably intertwined with the history and development of Louisville; the earliest map of the city identifies Water, Main, Market and Jefferson Streets. In this section of the map you can clearly see the 800 block of Market between Shelby and Campbell. In 1804 the first Market house was established at Fourth and Market. The first brick house built in Louisville was constructed on the south side of Market between 5th and 6th Streets. During the 1820s the street was the scene of impromptu horse racing.
During the early part of the 19th century Market Street was the common address for retailers and service industries supporting Louisville’s development as a center for regional commerce. The thoroughfare was the heart of the development of the city as a livestock market with herds of livestock in constant travel along Market between the Bourbon Stockyards and the river. During mid-century, the increased traffic along Market necessitated widening the street to accommodate the great variety of traveling merchants and products.
Three block long sections of Market, between Floyd and Preston, Campbell and Shelby and Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets were widened and several market houses were established here. In 1892 the Methodist Episcopal Church at 216 S. Shelby housed the Shelby Street Market (This is now the site of the Flea off Market). As part of this development a small park was established on Market Street between Shelby and Campbell. Named Kenton Place the park ran the length of the block and was enclosed with a fence to separate visitors from the streetcars that bypassed on the north side.
However, by 1905 the park had been removed and the trolley traveled the center of the streetin 1940s
The adjacent neighborhoods of Butchertown and Phoenix Hill and the Bourbon Stockyards at the east end of Market insured that Market Street was a vital artery of commerce. The 1852 City Directory noted “the entire extent of this street is given up to retail grocers, provisions dealers, and clothiers”; almost everything purchased in Louisville, either was produced or sold on Market Street. During the last half of the 19th through the early 20th century, at the beginning of the era of the great department store, three major Louisville retailers, Levy Brothers, Bacon’s, and Loevenhart’s open for business on Market Street.
The historic integrity of feeling and association of the area today is supported by an eclectic mix of retail shops, restaurants and businesses. The diversity of this neighborhood is evidenced by the historic fabric that exists today along this corridor. This fabric is rich in historic design, materials and details; brick, limestone, cast iron. This is not limited to above ground structures. Recent archaeological investigations in downtown Louisville have revealed that a wealth of cultural historic resources are intact and these sites could have potential significance for their data content.
During the nineteenth century Market Street was an important center of commerce and industry. Like many other urban historic business districts during the 1960s and 1970s it experienced a decline when competition from new commercial shopping areas began to be developed in the suburbs. However, Market has learned to reinvent itself and has become a unique destination. This strength is evident by the establishment of the East Downtown Businessman’s Association (now the East Market District Association) whose goal is to work together toward the revitalization of their commercial district.
In 2007, Preservation Kentucky commissioned a study to analyze the economic impact of historic preservation in the Commonwealth. In that study completed by Dr. John Gilderbloom of the University of Louisville, the importance of historic, walkable, approachable downtowns appears through such varied topics as job creation, environmental benefits, and heritage tourism.
In terms of job creation, noted economists agree that historic preservation creates 43 jobs for every $1 million invested — new construction cannot come close to that figure. Downtown revitalization in Kentucky created an estimated 4720 jobs in 2006 alone. Reports for across the state confirm that 1,923 permanent jobs were created in Main Street districts in 2006.
From the study, “In Louisville alone, $76 million was spent on private rehabilitation projects on Main Street in 2006.”
These projects support Louisville’s historic revitalization but more importantly they help retain the city’s unique Sense of Place.

This was a great place in a fun location. We were only in town for the evening so it was nice to have restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Janel2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Amazing apartment right in the heart of Nulu! Bars, cafés and restaurants all within walking distance. Extremely drivable to other cool parts of Louisville. Sarah got back to us quickly when we had questions. Pictures are very accurate. The walls are very thin. It was easy to hear other people's conversations next door. Otherwise great comfortable place!

We enjoyed our stay! The location is in the NuLu district is great, surrounded by great restaurants and little shops, and a quick inexpensive taxi ride (we used Lyft) to downtown sites. Also places like Churchill Downs and Bulleit were less than 20 min away by car/taxi. Having access to free parking right in front of the apartment and laundry on site were a nice feature. There was also two bikes and helmets free to use - although we did not take advantage of that. Please note there is a long flight of steps up to the unit so if you have heavy bags or don't like steps it may not be for you - although the staircase is wide so easy to lift luggage up. Our host was not available during our stay but a friend of hers was available and responsive for any questions we had.

Location --- this place is perfectly located in an awesome neighborhood filled with amazing bars and restaurants. 5 min walk to 3 different breweries and supported by plenty of free parking. We really lucked out and are super thrilled with our stay in Nulu.

This is a lovely modern space to stay in Louisville. Easy access to great neighborhood restaurants and walkable. Also very close to downtown, easy ride or walk away. Would recommend to anyone looking for a walkable/no car needed experience here.

Very nice, well decorated, lights were cool

My wife and I came to Louisville for the evening to go to Butchertown Grocery. The Blue Room was a very convenient walk to the restaurant and solid accommodations generally.

Henry2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Our stay was great. Very cute open space. Easy parking and check in.

nicole2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

It's exactly as described. The blue is stylish, comfortable and clean. The hosts are completely hands off, so if you appreciate that in a space, it's good. But they also respond very quickly if there's an issue and were quite friendly and helpful in that sense. The location is just a few walkable blocks from East Market, and I felt safe walking it even as there are quiet streets of construction and transition. Although I didn't walk about after 9:30 pm, so I'm not sure what it would be like in the dark. It's close driving distance to experience many of Louisville's great neighborhoods. We enjoyed our stay! Book here aror at some of their other cool locations.

I recently came to town for a charity event and wanted to stay in a locale that was not a traditional hotel. This was my first Airbnb experience, and could not have been happier. Thorough and prompt email communication. Place is adorable and located on a quiet street and within walking distance to the Ohio River and fabulous restaurants and shops in the NuLu neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again for future events in town.

amber2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great spot in a funky neighbourhood with some really outstanding restaurants/coffee spots (Butchertown Grocery and Quill - Both amazing) within short walking distance and central to plenty of other must-sees within a short drive. Cool, hip, fun. Great value.

Russ2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

This is a great apartment to stay at in Butchertown, Within walking distance to Nulu and all the cool shops, bars, and restaurants in the area, plus a short uber or drive to Downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

This unit is just steps from the amazing restaurants, bars, and shopping that Bardstown Road has to offer. This spacious one bedroom unit is truly your standard charming Highlands gem.

This one bedroom apartment offers a very spacious living area. The bedroom opens to the living room via double doors. The bathroom features a newly renovated tile shower. There is also a full kitchen and dining area.

Dominick’s home is located in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.
Bardstown Road, Louisville’s original “Restaurant Row,” is situated in the city’s Highlands neighborhood. In addition to being a dining Mecca, it’s also known for its eccentric collection of shops and is one of the most popular neighborhoods for local nightlife. The area is as eclectic as it is charming. You’ll find Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century architecture along quiet streets, just off bustling Bardstown Road, which is truly a people-watching paradise. Sit in a coffee shop or café and see business people, creative types, families and skateboarders gliding past.

Very clean! Great neighborhood!

Kelley2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Spacious apartment right by Bardstown. Another host cancelled on us last minute and Dominick was super helpful and communicative!

Katie2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Was comfortable and in a safe area!

Danielle2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

My husband and I were traveling home after a vacation and decided we needed to stop for the night. Dominick was very fast to respond and have the place ready for us on such short notice. It was exactly what we needed - comfortable, simple, easy parking, quiet, and with several food options in the area that we could bring back to eat. Great stay!

Michelle2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Although I had to cancel my reservation, communication with Dominick was excellent. I had no problem getting a refund. I would try to stay at his property in the future.

Rob2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

This is a great place to stay! Very clean, spacious, and a perfect location!

Our neighborhood is just blocks away from downtown, Nulu, Butchertown, Germantown, Clifton and the Highlands. We love our house and neighborhood and share it with our small pups, a couple of cats, and chickens in the backyard.

Private bedroom with large closet and private shower/bath.

Just blocks from the hospitals of downtown and a few more from the buildings of downtown, our neighborhood is in transition. Rehabs of old houses and apartment buildings and new houses, this neighborhood is home to long time residents, and newcomers, a ceramics studio, and artist Ed Hamiltons studio and continues to change.

Great place and great hosts!

Neal2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

JD and John were great. Easy check in and the bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Would be happy to stay again.

Jim2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

llegue y la casa lo esperado, muy atentos ambos

Antonio2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

The perfect Airbnb hosts and accommodations. From the minute you arrive until the minute you leave you are treated with welcoming hospitality. The room is comfortable, quiet and private. A great stay for one night or one week. I look forward to staying at JD's again on my next trip to Louisville

Ron2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

Staying at JD and Jon's place was an absolute delight! JD was such a great host and knows all the best spots around town. Their home was clean, cute and comfortable. I'll definitely stay here again when pass through Louisville, if even just to say hi their fantastic pups (and cats and chickens)!

Melanie2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

This place was great, I highly recommend it. I could walk to downtown and to the medical campus in minutes. Also, with the smart lock and the layout of the house, I felt really comfortable in my space and coming and going as I pleased. I also really liked the modern decor and the friendly pets, although admittedly, I did not get to close to the chickens.

Rae2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

We spent a weekend here and it was exactly as advertised. It was clean, comfortable, and with walking distance of a variety of food and entertainment. They were wonderful hosts and made us feel welcome. We loved all the personal artistic touches throughout the house as well as their adorable pets.

Mark2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

Such a fantastic experience for our first time using AirBnB! It was a great spot, convenient to downtown but quiet. Jon and JD were super friendly and had awesome recommendations for stuff to do around the city. We had a great time! Loved all the animals at the house!
